It's funny how people can get so offended that a casual game might infect their precious PS3 and how even more upset they get when it's a casual game they want. It's like they think they lost a weapon in their arsenal of Wii jokes by admitting that maybe all casual games aren't that bad.

 Are you blind and delusional ?

 I said PS3 has Singstar and Buzz - CASUAL games.

....everybody on this site is insane....every time the wii fans actually like something on the PS3, even if PS3 fans like it, they want it to be for different reasons than the reasons Wii fans like their games.....and whenever the Sony fans like something on the Wii, the Wii fans are like "yeah, bet you're sorry you wasted 600 dollars for your "hardcore" system". Then the 360 owners pop up and go "Wii plays kiddie games so it sucks and PS3 doesn't have Halo, so it sucks too" I swear to god. And i don't think I'm the first person to notice that...

On a relevant note, I am totally getting this game. It looks like you just get to play with a physics engine, basically.



                                   

Looks like a great game.

Hus, you need a holiday. You're one of the most irritable and aggressive people on the board.

 Nope your not, they want to justify their casual games by throwing LBP under that banner since it has become the hot game of the industry,

guitar hero is casual, mario is casual (yes it is). does that stop them from being awesome?

I have often wondered this... why is Mario considered casual?

Mario platformers have traditionally been some of the hardest games around and it's one of the few franchises that has stayed true to that idea throughout the years.

I don't know any casual gamers who have made it even halfway through a Mario platformer, especially the 3D games.

i prefer overbearing, my coach says that lol. 



....sorry, but I don't really think it's going to be that hot...it'll sell, but only because people like us know what it is...I used to work at a video game store, and all the people I talked to that wanted to buy games could barely tell me what system they had, let alone what game they wanted.



                                   

I totally got all 120 stars in Mario 64, but I'm pretty hardcore, and I just plain didn't like Sunchine too much, so that petered out after about 25 shines.



                                   

I expect this to be the PS3's ICO... a good to great game that gets no recognition.

I think we can all agree LBP looks really cool, but that comment is just ridiculous.

Edit: Also ridiculous is the fact that you deny LBP is a casual game, and think efforts to label it as such are part of some conspiracy to "justify" casual games.



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
